Which gambling-law firm ranks first in the GLRI Index?

WH Partners ranks #1 in the GLRI 2026.1 index with 89/100, scored across seven public pillars covering Tier 1 jurisdictional depth, regulator-side experience and E-E-A-T signals.

How is the gambling-law firm ranking calculated?

Every firm is scored out of 100 against the seven-pillar Gambling Law Rating Index (GLRI): Practice specialisation (15), Tier 1 jurisdictional depth (20), EU regional and emerging markets (10), Practice-tested track record (15), Regulator-side experience (10), Authority & E-E-A-T signals (15), Service lifecycle coverage (15). Scoring uses publicly verifiable signals only and is reviewed on a fixed schedule.

Can a firm pay to rank higher in the GLRI Index?

No. Placement cannot be bought. Rankings are editorial opinion based on open signals applied uniformly; any sponsored or verified listing is labelled and has no effect on a firm’s score.
